A Woman from Austria.

Near the village OF LllllnS-
dorf, in Lower Austria, lives
Maria Haas, an intelligent and
industrious woman, whose story
of physical suffering and final
relief, as related by herself, is
of interest to English women.
n was employed" she says,
Gin the work of q large farm
house. Overwork brought on
sick headache, followed by a
deathly fiinting and. sickness
Of the stomach, until | was
unable to retain either food Or
drink. | was compelled to
take to my bed for several
weeks. Getting q little better
from. rest and quiet, [ sought
to do some work, but was soon
taken with a pain in my side,
which in q little while seemed
to spread over my whole body,
and throbhed in my every limb.
This was followed by a cough
and shortncss Of breath, until
finally l could not sew, and |
took to my bed for the second,
and, as I thought, for the last
time. My friends told me that
my time had nearly come, and
that I could not live longer
than when the trees put on
their green once more. Then |
happened to get one Of the Sci
gel pamphlets. [ read it, and
my dear mother bought me a
bottle of SEIGEL's SYRUP,
Shaker Extract of Roots)'
which I took exactly according
to directions, and | had not
taken the whole of it before /
felt a change for the better. My
last illness began June 3d,
1882, and continued to August
9th, when I began to take the
Syrup. Very soon | could do a
little light work. The cough
left me, and | was no more
troubled in breathing. Now I
am perfectly cured; and oh,
how happy l am! I cannot
express gratitude enough fop
SE1GEL's S.aUP shaker Ex-
tract Of Roots. Now I must
tell you that the doctors in our
district distributed handbills
cautioning the people against
the medicine. telling them it
would do nc good, and many
We're therel,s .ait;aaced to de-
stroy the Sa;s,-l pamphlets; but
now, when. ser one is to be
found, it Is kelsI ike relic.
The few I'''esSl Il are bor-
rowed to rs.;.,I, ;:l:.! | have lent
mine for six miles around our
district. p-oI,le have come
eighteen mil, $ to get me to buy
the medicine fol them, know
ing that it erred me, and to be
sure to get ;lle right kind. [
know a woman who was look
ing like death, and who told
them there s,-;,s no help for her,
that she had consulted several
doctors, but none could help
her. [ tol.! her of Seigel's
Syrup, and wrote the name
down for her that she might
make no mistake. She took
my advice ai,.>l the Syrup, and
now she is in perfect health,
and the people around us are
amazed. The medicine has
made such progress in our
neighborhood that people say
they don't want the doctor any
more, but they take the Syrup.
Sufferers from gout who were
confined to their beds and could
hardly move a finger have been
cured by it. There is a girl in
our district who caught a cold
by going through some water,
and was in bed five years with
costiveness and rheumaticpains,
and had to have an attendant
to watch by her. There was
not a doctor in the surrounding
district to whom her mother
had not applied to relieve her
child, but every one crossed
themselves and said they could not
help her. Wherever the little bell
rang, which i; rung in our place
when anybody is dead, we thought
surely it was ! her; but Seigels
Syrup and Pi..i. <>S52:al,ol: Extract OF
Roots) saved her life. and now she
is as healthy as anybody, goes to
church, and ca:l work even in the
fields. Everyb ,,ly WAS astonished
when they say. her out, knowing
how many sye.,cs she had been in
bed.' To-day Size adds her graft
